Two points:

- Very cool, thank you for that. It eerily reminded me
of Les Triplettes De Belleville.

- Zabel sucks.


That tv show has the same roller race every week at the end of the show
with 4 of the guests. It's invariably speedskaters who win and have the
best times at the end of the season, with a surprising amount of
footballers mixed in. Shockingly, Theo Bos' brother, skater Jan, was
faster than him once. Which was the reason for Theo's reappearance the
next week: he was not a guest then but was only there to improve his
time (which he did). Road cyclists never do well. Even endurance
trackies like Stam who won in this video are no match: he's 3 seconds
slower than this season's best time (by Jan Bos again).
